Other Help Topics :: cloning the setup



OK, So i've got it all installed, configured and ready to go. It all boots ok and automatically starts a Citrix connection.

Now, all I need to do is to bea able to clone this for other machines.... PQDI won't do it, nor will ghost 2003 (both say no partition)

How can I do This?

Get knoppix disk

boot knoppix

Run "partimage" utility

Copy partition from old hard disk to new hard disk.

As cbagger01 pointed out partimage will do the job ....... and Ghost for Unix is worth checking out too!

1. What is it?

g4u ("ghost for unix") is a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM that allows easy cloning of PC harddisks to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs using FTP. The floppy/CD offers two functions. First is to upload the compressed image of a local harddisk to a FTP server. Other is to restore that image via FTP, uncompress it and write it back to disk; network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the harddisk is processed as a image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks as well as partitions is also supported.
